Chapter 66: Deadly Threat

"Your boss wants to meet me?" Avery asks, confused.

"Yes, he entrusted the acquisition to me, but he'd prefer to meet you in person as well," the man said, "You needn't worry, though. He's satisfied to meet you here, and it shouldn't take too much of your time."

Avery is willing to accept the strange condition. She knows it's perfectly safe to meet this man at the hotel, though she doesn't understand why he didn't just meet her directly. She nods her consent, and the man stands up and leads her out of the suite.

Avery is wearing a professional but formal dress. Though the cut is modest, it can't disguise her curvy figure. She has already caught the man looking at her.

The staff in the hallway greets her with professional smiles and Avery smiles back. She doesn't want them to know she's selling the hotel until the contract has been signed. The man leads her down the hall to the elevators and then across the lobby to the outdoor restaurant.
